HIRN BC Webinars are guided tours designed to acclimate you to various resources that are offered through the HIRN Bioinformatics Core. Upcoming webinars include call/access information while Archived Webinars will contain embedded video recordings and notes (if applicable).

Upcoming Webinars

Future

May. webinars2016: comingDo soon. it yourself RNA-Seq Analysis (Session 2)

After a basic introduction, the session will start with importing raw sequencing data, and followed with performing QA/QC, alignment, quantification and differential expression detection, etc. in Partek Flow. A live demo on the integration of RNA-Seq and Gene Expression Microarray data in Partek Flow will be provided followed with Q&A after the hands on practice. Registration is currently closed. This hands on and in-person workshop is being held at the 2016 HIRN annual investigators retreat meeting in the Hyatt Hotel on Tuesday, May 24, from 6:30-10:00pm.

The agenda and additional materials will be made available for download shortly.

Past/Archived Webinars

Nov. 2015: Accessing Resources 101

This brief webinar provides an overview of the HIRN-BC labs portal. This webinar is for you if you have never used an sFTP client before to transfer and store data files.

Dec. 2015: Learn about OMERO & Bio-Formats for Data Management and Integration

OMERO is a powerful platform for the data management and integration of scientific images and any associated metadata — comments, results, and documents — for life sciences and biomedical research. OMERO's interfaces let you view, manage, share, analyze and publish data. OMERO is platform agnostic and uses Bio-Formats, the world's most popular scientific image translation software, to access and integrate image data. This gives you the power to combine images from any modern imaging modality — light and electron microscopy, digital pathology, high-content screening — in a single system.

Jan. 2016: Do it yourself RNAseq Analysis (Session 1)

In this webinar, via live demo, Partek Flow will be used to analyze an RNAseq experiment by checking read quality, aligning reads against a reference genome, quantifying RNA transcript levels, and determining differentially expressed genes. You will learn how to create your own workflows and share your analysis with one or more collaborators.
